Just wanted to comment this. The amount of lint can be quite shocking, but explains why e.g. t-shirts seem to get thinner over time…
Thanks for that comment. I went for the read and don’t regret it.
But what about Brawndo? It has electrolytes! It’s what plants crave!
Just imagine him sitting in front, blocking everyone’s view. Then again this is not like a cinema. Would anyone care about obstructed view at a funeral?
Nah, it’s just the 51st state. Didn’t you get Trump’s memo?













Iset it up a long while ago but haven’t updated in a long while either… not sure whether the tracking is still active on my phone. Thanks for this post, I’ll see whether there is an easy upgrade path to 1.0 without too many breaking changes 😄
